so iv left my ppm alone, upped my watering from 3 litres to 4 just with a very low feed just to try to get more run off, i losen up the soil before i water, poke some holes doewn it with a skewer just to help losen it up some more, but i cant seem to get any more than about 20 mls run off, why...

I did do a few slurry tests back when I noticed the high ppm reading. It came out around 400 and the solution going in was around 1000, so this was good, but I weren't sure if a slurry test was the right thing to do because I'd only heard about it from one guy. I'm just gonna stick to feeding it...

Bio bizz light mix, with added perlite

To be honest I have done, iv stopped with all the ppm shit coz it was doing my head in, I do have a couple of leaf problems but nothing major I don't think. I'm just gonna resume the feed at a lower dose and try to get more run off when I do. I think I was maybe underwatering and that's why iv...

They're 6 wk 3 days since switch.

My pen doesn't read ec, only ppm, sorry...thats what happened believe it or not, first litre I put through read 1400, I cleared any runoff from that first litre before putting the second one through it. I feel like iv had dry spots somewhere, which may be causing my readings to come out...

So, I was getting really high ppm readings in my run off. Up to 1500 sometimes and it was only about 400 going in. I assumed this was salt build up as you would, my ph remains around 6.7 by the way so I didn't take this to be the problem. Started doing a flush tonight. So I put the first litre...

Well, as tangerine said here, delving into that subject would be akin to dropping blood in a shark tank. So many different opinions out here on the subject of growing. One man says do it, another man says don't, one man says it's right, one man says its not right. The opinions are like night and...

That's what I did to be honest, searched all the forums. And that decided it for me

Thanks for your reply tangerine. I wasnt adjust the ph at first, it was 6.3 in my solution consistently. I kept it there until I started thinking the buds were growing slow, so I played with it a bit to see if it made a difference but nothing so far, so do you suggest I just leave it at the 6.3...

Really? Your literally the first person iv heard say that, never heard a bad word about AN tbh, I was growing with just a simple npk fertiliser, grow and bloom and that was it, because that was my aim, to keep it simple, but it didn't work out, I upgraded everything in the set up for this grow...

I started out on half dose, and it took it ok, so increased it little by little, have u heard of a slurry test? I was told to do this rather than test runoff because apparently its a more reliable way of checking what nutes the plant is taking in. Heard this from a pretty reliable source who's...

They were taken a day or two ago, thinking of starting an overdrive a week early, don't know if this well help boost them a bit, it's supposed to but the chart im using says to Start feeding it in a weeks time so I'm only a week early on it if I start using it now

Yes soil, bio-bizz light mix. I'll post a pic now

I'm using advanced nutrients hobbyist range. Just wondering if anyone using this range can answer my question. I'm in week 5 flower, so using sensi bloom part A and b, b-52 and big bud at this stage, just wondering if anyone has noticed a specific ph level that works best for taking up these...
